[PATCH] perf build: Fix library not found error when using CSLIBS

From: James Clark
Date: Fri Jul 07 2023 - 11:46:12 EST


-L only specifies the search path for libraries directly provided in the
link line with -l. Because -lopencsd isn't specified, it's only linked
because it's a dependency of -lopencsd_c_api. Dependencies like this are
resolved using the default system search paths or -rpath-link=... rather
than -L. This means that compilation only works if OpenCSD is installed
to the system rather than provided with the CSLIBS (-L) option.

This could be fixed by adding -Wl,-rpath-link=$(CSLIBS) but that is less
conventional than just adding -lopencsd to the link line so that it uses
-L. -lopencsd seems to have been removed in commit ed17b1914978 ("perf
tools: Drop requirement for libstdc++.so for libopencsd check") because
it was thought that there was a chance compilation would work even if it
didn't exist, but I think that only applies to libstdc++ so there is no
harm to add it back. libopencsd.so and libopencsd_c_api.so would always
exist together.

Testing
=======

The following scenarios now all work:

* Cross build with OpenCSD installed
* Cross build using CSLIBS=...
* Native build with OpenCSD installed
* Native build using CSLIBS=...
* Static cross build with OpenCSD installed
* Static cross build with CSLIBS=...
